All World Athlete Program

All World Athlete Program

All World Athlete Program

The IRONMAN All World Athlete program is our way of rewarding age-group athletes' hard work, dedication, and performance across IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 racing. Starting in 2015 and continuing in 2017 as long as one IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3, is complete you can also receive points for, IRONMAN 5i50, Life Time Tri International and Sprint distance events (included in the overall category).

The program uses IRONMAN’s Age Group Rankings system to determine which athletes have finished within the top 10 percent or better of their age group each calendar year. Within this system, athletes generate points based on their finish time behind the first official finisher in their age group. Athletes accumulate points at every race they complete, but on December 31st, only their top three performances will count toward their All World Athlete status. This makes it easy for athletes to improve their ranking simply by racing more with IRONMAN.

An athlete can achieve All World Athlete status in one or all of the following categories: IRONMAN, IRONMAN 70.3 and OVERALL (IRONMAN, IRONMAN 70.3, IRONMAN 5i50, Life Time Tri International and Sprint distances). There are three levels associated with the All World Athlete program:

GOLD (top one percent)

SILVER (top five percent)

BRONZE (top ten percent)

All World Athletes receive a variety of benefits from IRONMAN, please see AWA benefits tab.

NEW IN 2018!

Early Entry:
Beginning mid-June, 2017 (coinciding with registration opening for IRONMAN Boulder and IRONMAN Texas), IRONMAN All World Athletes of all levels will be offered early entry to IRONMAN 70.3 and IRONMAN events. You will receive a link to register directly from Active.com two to three weeks prior to General Registration opening. Please note that not all events will offer early entry.

Priority Tiered Pricing:
IRONMAN is moving to a Tiered Pricing model which is based on registration slot inventory rather than date. Once slots are sold at each level the price will go up. Because IRONMAN All World Athletes have the option to register for events before General Registration opens, it is likely you will be offered the lowest entry fee for your registration. Please note that not all events will have Tiered pricing.

2018 IRONMAN Payment Plan Option:
Athletes who register for IRONMAN events within the first 90 days of general entries becoming available may elect to pay via a three-part payment plan. Athletes will be charged the Tier 3 price in three equal installments. To elect the payment plan, an athlete needs to register under the “Payment Plan” category during the first 90 days of general entries being available and make the initial $250 payment. Athletes will then receive instructions on when they can expect the next payment link and due dates for subsequent payments. All three payments must be completed for an athlete to race – partial payments will not be refunded or honored as race entries. Athletes electing the payment plan may also utilize the deferral option listed above once all three payments have been completed. The payment plan option is only offered for North American IRONMAN events.
